WHEAT-Accur4tc figures for small lots in
the sample market are not easily given. There
is no trading TO amount to anything through
this channel. All business being transacted at
the moment is negotiated through the Call
Board, and il is only by picking up odd parcels
and uassing them into lots of one hundred tons
for contract purposes, that the situation Is kept
ut all in mo ion. The Produce Exchange ad-
jnuned last Friday for the holidays and will
not resume operations until tomorrow, SO that
quotations are more or less of approximate
character. Perhaps 81 s215 q ctl will about rep

BARLEY-how that the holidays are over, it
is expected that renewed activity will prevail
in this product. Receipts must necessarily in

afford opportunity for more extensive trading.

to be picking up lots in the country at figure

chases in his line are on English account.
OATS-The market has been quite tame of
late. Stocks on hand move off very slowly,
and it is only by moderate concessions IN price g
that any business at all is transacted. There
seems TO be an increasing desire 10 realize and
this fact does not strengthen the situation.

be accepted as the current range,
VEGETABLES-(ireen Corn IS less plentiful
and commands better prices. String Beans sell
at a wide range, owing TO the difference in the
quality of offerings. Green Peppers keep low.
Tomatoes are in fair request, top figures being
readily obtained for choice article. Cucumbers
are cheaper, under liberal receipts. We quote
